FAQ About Sitting Bull

After the Battle of the Little Bighorn, Sitting Bull and his followers faced increased pressure from U.S. military forces. To avoid further conflict, he fled north to Canada in 1877, where he remained for several years. In 1881, Sitting Bull returned to the United States and eventually surrendered to U.S. forces. He was later held prisoner but was eventually allowed to join Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show, where he gained fame as a performer representing Native American culture.
